I read another book by this author called "Goddess of Spring" and was not impressed at all. It was an extremely typical romance novel, with a typical plot and a typical ending. Had I not purchased this novel at the same time as that one I probably would have never read anything else by this author. As it is, I'm glad that I bought this book three month ago, because even though it is a romance novel, it is quite good.
CC is inexperienced with romance, but an extremely competent air force officer. On a flight to her new station in Saudi Arabia her plane crashes, and CC is pulled under by the wreckage of the plane. Fortunately, a plea she made to the goddess to have more magic in her saves her in the guise of a mermaid who switches bodies with her.
But being a mermaid isn't easy-especially since CC has also been sent to the year 1014. Her half-mermaid brother is bent on raping her, and the goddess Gaia can only protect her if she is on land. But as her body craves the sea-CC has a problem. Throw in a quest for true love, a sexy brooding mermaid and a knight in not so shining armor, and you have the book.
A lot of thing about this book irritated me. Mythological mistakes, language problems... But so what-this was fun to read, actually romantic, and a truly enjoyable novel. I can recommend it if you like fantasy and can put up with some typical romance novel style fluff.
Four stars. Maybe I will try another by this author. It may be worth it if more of her books are like this.

I had gotten this book from the library as I wasn't sure if I would like the writing or not. "Goddess of the Sea" is a great read filled with tenderness and love with a bit of mythology and jealousy thrown in. The woman development of beauty being internal was warming as so many romance novels talk about beauty on the outside and the characters aren't too developed. P.C. Cast took her time in her writing for me to get to know the main characters. I loved the Earth Mother character development. This is definately a book worth buying as there is enough suprise to keep you interested to the end. I cannot wait to buy the rest of the Goddess books for my shelf.
